The current edition of the George Borrow Society Bulletin

Cover of the current George Borrow Bulletin The Spring 2015 George Borrow Bulletin is now out (Series 2, No. 10) and members should have received their copy in April/May 2015.

Our Portugal trip took place just after the Bulletin went to press and so will appear in our Autumn edition.  Nevetheless our members have been busy and notes appear on everything from Napoleon’s Wars to the Llangollen church cat.  Perhaps members are looking forward to our Llangollen lunch on 27 June as there’s a lot of Welsh material.  For those interested, there’s also a bit about our Christmas 2014 lunch at the Hereford Arms.

The next edition of the George Borrow Bulletin is being prepared and should be out in Autumn 2015.  Contributors please note that the deadline for contributions is 31st August 2015.  Also a gentle reminder: subscription renewals were due 1st April 2015.
